For the Exhausted Mama, FREE Coffee For a Year! Plus, NEW Gifts Added For Those Who Purchase Desperate!

I have some great news for those of you who are interested in purchasing 8 or more copies of Desperateto give away or use for a small group (download your free small group guide here)! As you know, we ran out of the “breathe” necklaces on the first day of the launch, but I spoke with my friends over at What’s in the Bible and they offered new gifts for you!

The New Gifts for Those Who Purchase 8 or More Copies of Desperate!

Enter into a conversation with Donald Miller (Blue Like Jazz) and Dr. John Townsend (Boundaries) about parenting and what the Bible has to say about raising kids. This DVD explores how God designed parenting, why it is so challenging, and ultimately the rewards that come from the process of helping kids grow up.

Buck Denver Asks…What’s in the Bible? – Volume 1 (Genesis)

The Bible Made Easy! Buck Denver and his friends take your children through the WHOLE Bible. Perfect viewing for the entire family – laugh and learn together. In his first new project since VeggieTales, Phil Vischer has set out to teach kids (and parents!) the story of the Bible – God’s great rescue plan! We know the stories of Moses, Noah, David, and Jesus, but in this groundbreaking new series, we learn how they all fit together to tell one big, redemptive story. Vischer’s signature wit shines through with his all-new cast of characters, fast-paced flash animation, and catchy tunes. This is one journey through the Bible you won’t want to miss!

My friend at What’s in the Bible said, “We hope these DVDs will make small groups easier by giving kiddos something to do during the study and for another resource for these parents after they complete Desperate.”

Onto today’s giveaway…

FREE Coffee for a YEAR!

You remember when I broke up with coffee? Well, I came back to my senses and we’ve since reconciled, both agreeing to just drop the cream and sugar. We’re in love again, and I’m so glad because my dear friend Jessica and her husband have own a coffee roasting company, Avodah, and their coffee is outstanding! Plus, I’m happier (and so are my babes) when I’m awake! Yay for coffee!

Today my friends, you have a chance to win some of it, a years worth of it! Just think, freshly roasted coffee delivered to your door each month for a year. You can just smell it now, can’t you?

I love my coffee too and I’ve been trying to cut back on the sugar so I am making my own slightly sweetened with maple syrup creamer to help!

Hillary

Yum!! I love coffee!!! I would love to drink tea instead but I CAN NOT function on half the caffiene!!! This would be wonderful to win!!!!

Coffee… Well, I don’t like it at all (I know, I know – gasps of disbelief all around)… However, one of my best friends is, in this particular respect, my *complete* opposite and probably couldn’t live without her coffee So if I happen to win, you’ll be getting her address! I always love a chance to do something special for her

He was 2 1/2 and I spanked him. I spanked him over and over and over again, because I thought I was doing the right thing, the godly thing. I needed him to obey, there was no other option. I was tired and overwhelmed, and I just wanted compliance. I wanted him to honor me […]
